40 Best Recipes for Hatch Chiles You Need Right Now

It’s Hatch Chile time, and that means many of us will buy a case of them (10 pounds or 25 pounds) and have them roasted for us, so we can bring them home and cook with them. We’ll save some in the freezer for later, so we can enjoy Hatch goodness long after their short August-September season is over.

Or we’ll roast the Hatch chiles at home ourselves. This is an easy option, especially if you buy less than a case. Either way, we’ll have loads of Hatch to use.

If you’re looking for great ideas for what to do with your roasted Hatch chiles, you’ve come to the right place! I have lots of suggestions for you, including a new book, just published by Melissa’s Produce, devoted entirely to Hatch.

Rodriguez, Melissa’s corporate chef, and Hernandez, company co-owner, know their stuff. They wrote it to answer customer questions about what to do with Hatch, how to use them and how they are different.

“Hatch is an ingredient you can put in any recipe; you can use them in everything, really,” Rodriguez says. You believe her after you taste her Sweet ‘n Spicy Hatch Pancakes, Soft Pretzels with Hatch Chile Mustard, the addictive Honey Mustard Pretzel & Nut Crunch, Hatch Devil’s Food Cookies and Hatch Lemonade. Lemonade? Yeah, you make spicy Hatch ice cubes to float in the drink, and it spices it up just perfectly!

Ken,
I’m sure it is, but you would need to find a recipe that is specifically for that, to make sure it is safe for preserving and storing in the pantry. If you find one you like, tell me what/where it is!

My local Meijer had them. I bought 10lbs yesterday…am seriously thinking about getting 10 more! Roasted them yesterday. This morning: I have Hatch, Potato, and Chicken Chowder in the Crock Pot. SO happy!

Our local Vons (in CA) has Hatch green chiles and I picked some up. I was wondering if anyone has made them this way (like we do banana peppers) – wash, slice and seed chiles. Put olive oil in pan, put in chiles and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Cover and cook over low heat until they start to get softened. Put grated cheddar cheese on them and cover until the cheese melts. It is a good side dish, but don’t know if the Hatch chiles will be the same. I may try it tonight.

Diced, fresh Hatch chilies with sharp cheddar on top of garlic fried eggs! Place chilies and cheddar on the eggs and cover for about 40 seconds or until cheese melts, a criunchy, spicy and sweet treat to eat! Happy Hatch chile time!

Dorothy,
Thanks for including my pizza in your round up! Here in Ohio I just got back from picking up 2 quarts of freshly roasted Hatch chiles from my local grocery store, Dorothy Lane Market. I can’t wait to try them out with the wonderful recipes you suggest!

With all the Hatch recipes I have encountered lately I can’t help but think of a drive we did years ago through the Hatch NM area. Fires roasting everywhere and fragrant smoke that made you so very hungry. GREG
